Good afternoon, everyone! Just a friendly reminder that Chillicothe R-II Schools will not be in session on Monday, Feb. 16 in observance of Presidents Day. Enjoy the long weekend!
“Let Your Kind Shine”
Kindness is everywhere at CES! The three recipients of this week's awards were nominated by a teacher or staff member for showing exceptional kindness. They received a sunshine bag and the opportunity to sit in the yellow sunshine chair over the next week to promote kindness throughout CES!
Hazel Clark (Mrs. Hayen’s Kindergarten)
Hazel sat with a classmate during lunch who was having a tough time. Her presence made him feel so much better. She is always looking for ways to spread kindness to all.
Clayton Frisk (Mrs. Myers’ 2nd Grade)
Clayton is very kind to others and is often a helping hand!
Matthew Leatherman is a fourth grader in Mrs. Beck’s room.
Matthew has truly brightened our classroom with his positive attitude and dedication to learning. He always puts forth his best effort, works hard on every task, and leads by example through his determination. His friendly personality makes everyone feel welcome, and he consistently shows kindness to others. We love Matthew!

Mrs. Beemer's class had a special visit from Dustin Rennels/Grand River Historical Society Museum their Partners in Education today and learned all about fossils and artifacts from the past! Students became junior archaeologists as they carefully dug through blocks of plaster to uncover one of several different fossils.
We also learned how museums preserve and display artifacts just like the ones we discovered—making the connection between classroom learning and the real world.
Our hardworking staffulty students teamed up after school to clear snow from the playgrounds for everyone to enjoy! A big thank you to Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Good for supervising our awesome snow crew!
Today, the third grade WINGS class finished their Famous American research projects. Each child chose a lesser-known American of merit about whom they researched, wrote a report, created a poster, and presented a live speech for parents and grandparents. Americans covered included Will Rogers, Katherine Johnson, Shirley Chisolm, Squanto, and John Harvard.
It’s always a great day when the Hornet Hive Spirit Shop is open for our students! Our Middle School Better You Club provided an amazing selection of sports keychains to choose from. A special thank-you to PTO facilitator Shannon Mason for always bringing school spirit to CES!
Third graders have been working hard on treble clef notes for the past three weeks! To celebrate the end of the unit, we played a fun “Treble Clef Bean Bag Toss” game in music class. The students did a great job reviewing their notes — and now we’re excited to move on to xylophones next!
Attention Hornet family: Due to an unexpected power outage, the District's phones are offline at this time.
